About your role:
You will be working on a 100% Greenfield project, building the frontend from scratch with no legacy code involved. You will have full autonomy, acting like a Product Owner for your part of the frontend, with direct access to backend engineers for API discussions and no micromanagement. The work involves challenging engineering tasks, developing fully-featured Progressive Web Apps that can replace native applications, in a senior-only environment where you’ll collaborate with other strong engineers.

In this role, you will:
• Design and implement a white-label architecture, building a core application that allows easy generation of additional client-specific versions in the future

• Build and lead a team of 2–4 Middle/Senior Vue developers, including hiring, onboarding, and establishing development and code quality processes

• Own delivery management, organizing team workflows to turn ready requirements and designs into a working Release Candidate (MVP) within 3 months

• Ensure native-like UX and resilience, delivering instant UI feedback and stable performance even under poor network conditions (e.g., intermittent 3G/Edge)

• Adapt the application for iOS, providing a fully native-like experience while working around mobile Safari limitations (cache resets, navigation quirks)

• Collaborate closely with the backend team to define API contracts and optimize requests for web performance

• Own quality and infrastructure, including Core Web Vitals performance metrics and CI/CD pipeline setup in collaboration with DevOps engineers

It’s all about you:
• 5+ years of commercial frontend development experience

• Expert-level proficiency in Vue and TypeScript

• Strong hands-on experience building Progressive Web Applications (PWA), including Service Workers, Web App Manifest, and Cache Storage API

• Experience designing frontend architecture from scratch (greenfield projects)

• Hands-on experience handling unstable network conditions (e.g., intermittent 3G/Edge), including retry mechanisms, connection loss handling, and proper error states

• Experience solving platform-specific challenges for iOS/Safari PWAs (cache eviction, background limitations, navigation quirks)

• Strong understanding of the PWA lifecycle and seamless application updates

• Solid understanding of performance metrics (Core Web Vitals) and optimization techniques

Would be a plus

• Experience working with WebRTC

• Experience configuring advanced caching strategies using Workbox

• Experience setting up basic CI/CD pipelines in collaboration with DevOps engineers
